Its objectives are to promote safe, sound and efficient wholesale financial markets supporting economic growth, employment and investment. Our Members comprise most of the key wholesale financial firms operating in Europe and are committed to high quality reform of European financial markets.

Our busy Conference and Events department organises a programme of events that bring together our members, other parts of the industry, politicians, regulators and the media to discuss issues and to share their views.

AFME is looking for a Conference Administrator to join the events team. The role requires the successful candidate to assist the conference production and sales functions by managing the coordination and communication with over 250 leading industry speakers annually, scheduling research and speaker briefing meetings, responding to inbound delegate and sponsorship enquiries and other ad-hoc communications to event participants.
